The proposal to rename George Mason University’s law school the Antonin Scalia Law School has catalyzed quite a battle. On his Cafe Hayek blog, GMU professor Don Boudreaux offers some thoughts on it, and he includes a link to a recent Wall Street Journal piece by his colleague (and Pope Center contributor) Lloyd Cohen.

Predictably, the “arguments” offered by the opponents amount to little more than nasty rants. I suspect that they actually hope the name change goes through because that will give them a cause for years to come.
